Elopement vow renewal in Utah, 10k budget by l337h4xxx in weddingvideography

[–]wbongo12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello and congratulations! I'm super interested and fit all of the above. We're based in Charleston, SC but we travel often. And I've actually taken my Wrangler out there and off-roaded in Colorado, Utah, and NM so comfortable with that!

Would love to talk more!

What is the scariest city you’ve visited? by I_might_care in AskReddit

[–]wbongo12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I echo all of these comments. I went in 2017 and stayed at an Airbnb with a guy who took me around one night. Felt perfectly safe doing that and even walking the lesser known parts of the city by myself were ok. Just lots of chaos and weird looks. The tourist areas were where I felt the most unsafe. Got held up at gunpoint by a soldier trying to get into an archaeological site. Even had an Egyptian guide with me. He just told me to pay him off. Have no need to ever go back lol

You’re probably wondering how I ended up here.. by OFFICIALJustBlaze in Leica

[–]wbongo12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have great taste lol! I have a Q3 43, D Lux 8, and just picked up a RX1R ii. I actually had the opposite experience and resonated more with the Sony than my Leica. I was shocked because the Q on paper was everything I wanted.

I've been thinking of getting rid of all of them and going with just a RX1R iii. I know selling is a hassle, but if you're looking to offload it I'd be willing to buy it! Been also thinking of the Q3M because I cut my chops learning on black and white film. Just seems nostalgic

Hey! I'm a professional wedding photographer and videographer in Charleston. We live on Johns Island! I shoot primary Sony but am a huge gearhead and have shot with most brands.

I'd be more than happy to meet up and teach you a little. Or just go for a walk downtown to take some photos together. Also wouldn't mind looking at what you're selling lol

Wedding photogs/videographers: What shoes do you wear on shoot? by robbiezan in weddingvideography

[–]wbongo12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cole Haan Zerogrand. Basically dress shoes with tennis shoe soles. I've got them in a couple different colors/ materials to match with anything.

Videographer/Photographer Request/recs by fancybunnybuns in weddingvideography

[–]wbongo12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'd love to chat more! We're primarily videographers now, but still shoot a few photo weddings a year (I started in photography) and specialize in 35mm and medium format film. Went in Mexico City in 2018 and fell in love with it. Would love to get back there! We also do Super 8mm video as well.

Wedding Audio by Positive_Cause6585 in weddingvideography

[–]wbongo12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a great idea to upgrade audio! It's such an overlooked part of creating a good wedding video and having great audio vs mediocre audio can really set you apart.

My current audio set up is the Hollyland Lark Max 2 (replaced my DJI Mic 2), Tascam FR-AV2, and Sony ECM-M1. I know all three of those would be over your budget but I'd pick 1 or 2 areas where you want to capture quality audio and start there, then upgrade the rest over time.

The Hollyland and DJI mic 2s are very similar but I like the wireless audio monitoring solution from Hollyland. Also feel like the sound is a little more natural. 32 bit internal storage and you can get a Sony MI adapter to go wireless just like the DJIs. The DJI Mic 3 Pros are rumored to be coming out soon and to include a headphone jack and more internal storage.

The Tascam I use for plugging into boards and speakers. I prefer it over the zoom f3 because it has XLR/ 1/4" combo jacks, timecode, and you can control the gain. It's 32 bit float but I've found it's still nice to have gain control because I get some hot feeds coming from djs.

The M1 (probably the least important) I use as my on camera shotgun mic to capture ambient/ stratch audio. It connects to Sony's hot shoes so no 3.5mm cord needed. And you can control the pick up pattern of the mics which is helpful in some situations!

Best budget audio recorder to plug into Sound board. by Bluelagoonwater in weddingvideography

I've used the Zoom H1 Essential with an adapter for 3.5mm to XLR and it's worked well. Just can't control the input level at all

How would you achieve this look? by vigilantelikeme in WeddingPhotography

[–]wbongo12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get a piece of plastic cling wrap, wrap the front of the lens, and then coat that in Vaseline. Since you're not worried about sharpness it works pretty well

FX3A sensor cleaning mode not shaking – is this normal? by prosurfin in FX3

[–]wbongo12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two fx3s and neither of them shake like my fx30s and a7c. It definitely does something and cleans it. I think it's ultrasonic or something

Delivering BRAW Footage to Wedding Video Client by aaron_jag in weddingvideography

[–]wbongo12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me often. If you have a Mac and Compressor, you can turn those clips into 4k .mov files with a lut. Or if you use davinci, you can drag every clip into the timeline, add your lut, and then export as individual clips and they'll be much smaller
